| 摘要： | The Transportation and Civil Engineering (TRAC) PAC is a toolkit of instructional aids originally built in 1994 to attract middle and high school students to the transportation field. Since that time, users have noted difficulties arising from the PAC's curricula, equipment, and undefined role in the classroom. This report outlines a methodology for evaluating the PAC, identifies problems with the current PAC, and develops recommendations for a substantially different next generation PAC. Key findings include the importance of curricula when compared to technology, the need to design flexible lessons that integrate well with teachers' current lesson plans, the relevance of educational standards of learning, and the availability of educational products that can leverage investments in the TRAC PAC. Technical suggestions are presented including the use of calculator-based labs, delivery of lesson plan updates via the World Wide Web, creation of modules covering a broader transportation perspective, and concrete linkage to educational standards. Results of the open-ended interviews with teachers, students, principals, and TRAC volunteers underscore the need to penetrate the classroom environment rather than relying on short answers or anecdotal information. Lessons learned from this effort are applicable to other types of program evaluation. |
